Protection against Insect Rites

The London Lancet remarks: ssManv
people do not know how easily they can
protect themselves and their children
against the bites of gnats and other in
sects. Weak carbolic acid sponged on
the skin and hair, and in some cases the
clothing, will drive away the whole
tribe. a great many children and not n
few adults are tormcnted throughout the
whole summer by minute enemies. We
know persons who are afraid of picnics
and even their own gardens on this ac-
count. Clothing is an imperfect pro-
lection, for we have seen child whose
foot and ankle had been stunp
through the stocking so seriously
that for days she could not wear
a leather shoe. All this can be averted
according to our experience, and that we
believe of many others, by carbolic acid
judIciously used. The safest plan is to
keep saturated solution of the acid.
The solution can not contain more than
SIX or seven per cent, and il may be
added To water until the latter smells
strong. This may readily, and with per-
feet safety, he applied with sponge.
We have no doubt that horses and cattle
could be protected in the same way from
flies, which sometimes nearly madden
them, and 1T even seems possible that
terrible scourgc, the African Tsetse fly,
might nc kept off in the same manner"

Competitive Drill at w. M. A.

On last Wednesday morning, at eleven
O'Clock, the cadets of the W. NJ. A. assembled
for the first Of q reries of competitive drills
which are to decide to whom the drill medal
will be awarded at the close of the school
year. The novelty Of these drills, together
with the enthusiasm of the cadets over the
military In general, added very much to the
enjoyment of both spectators aud participants.
The manner of conducting them Is as fol-
lows:-The company forms and the drill be-
gins as usual. but eschscsdet falls out after
mskins.tw nlstakes uptit3hs number is re-
duced to ten. These tan are allowed to make
four mtSffGi1fae \ before they IRE required
10 fall out. The cadet who remain. in ranks
the longest for the greatest number of times
| during the year will receive the medal.
On Wednesday morning the cadets went
| into the contest full of hope and excitement
especially the latter, each imagining his name
| engraved on the beautiful drill medal, but
each fearing at tile same time that 1t might
| be the name of some one else. The opinion
which generally prevailed among the students
was that the contest lay between Cadets
| Bayles aud Atkinson. 1t is hard TO tell how
the contests will turn out, however, for 1t
requires a superabundance of nerve as we'll
as a full knowledge of military tactics, when
4 man has his chance for the honors of the
company depending OH his making every
movement with exact precision.
The false commands of Capt. Ward and the
excitement of the cadets, soon proved ;oo
much for many, and in a short time only the
following ten remained IN their places
Cadets 5. Bayles, Meibergen. Sutherlin. Rob-
erson, Atkinson, Hargls, Ruby, Griffith
Miller and Edmonds. OF these, Cadet Hlr
Rs was the first to fall out, and he was soon
followed BY Cadets Griffith, Miller, Meiber
gen, Ruby, Robertson, Edmonds and Suther,
lin, thus leaving only Cadets Bayies and At
kinson in the contest. The excitement rar
high when it was announced that each Of
these two had made three mistakes, ant
when, after a short time, Cadet Atkinson
failed on some point, the boys gave vent IL
their feelings in loud cheers for Sergeant
!. Bayles, the victorious contestant, and Mr
Rsvles' face Wore a happy smile as he receiV
ed the congratulations of the ladies who CAIN
TO see the drill, and of his fellow cadets.
These drills not only show that tue com
pany at W. NJ. A. Is well drilled in militar,
.. tactics. but they also show that in this com
cssion demands, will be able to unfinchingl,
execute sterner orders than those given O
